Dad, don't be greedy! My brother climbed into the emperor's bed, and I became famous overn

The brother and sister stared at each other, separated by a pink heart-shaped bubble.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop inside the room.

Outside the window, two sparrows on the crabapple tree were arguing over a worm, their clear chirping sound particularly jarring in the deathly quiet room.

Gu Mingli sighed deeply.

"Your brother is a full professor at a prestigious modern industrial university, a postdoctoral fellow in both hydraulic engineering and mechanical engineering, and a man who spends most of his time on construction sites and in laboratories."

He turned to look at Gu Mingyue, his eyes revealing a weariness and despair born of having seen the vicissitudes of life.

"This damned system actually made me...seduce a tyrant!!"

After a two-second silence, Gu Mingyue, acting on her instinct for risk assessment as a businesswoman, asked the most crucial question.

"Brother, what's the punishment if you don't get into the emperor's bed in three days?"

When Gu Mingli heard this question, it was as if the last bit of strength in his body had been drained away.

He closed his eyes, tilted his head back in despair, and uttered two words with a look of utter hopelessness:

"Castrate him and banish him to the cold palace."

The air fell silent for a full five seconds.

then……

"Pfft... Hahahahahahahahaha, oh my god!!"

Gu Mingyue collapsed onto the fox fur couch and began pounding the bed frantically.

They burst into insane laughter.

Gu Mingli was completely enraged and jumped up and down in anger.

"Gu Mingyue, do you have any conscience?! Your brother is about to be sent to the cold palace to become a eunuch, and you can still laugh!!!"

"I'm so sorry... hahaha... I'm sorry, bro, I really didn't mean to... ahahaha!"

Gu Mingyue laughed until tears streamed down her face.

Her brother glared angrily!

"Cough, cough!"

Gu Mingyue quickly cleared her throat, wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, and forced herself to regain her composure.

"Brother, we need to look on the bright side. At least we're sharing information now."

Gu Mingyue crossed her legs and began her analysis with the same imposing presence she displayed at board meetings.

"To sum it up: your system is a pink palace intrigue, mine is a god-level extravagance."

"As long as I do everything I can to spend all of my corrupt father's secret stash of money."

"And you, successfully squeezed out the three thousand beauties in the harem and became the emperor's only number one."

"One of us is responsible for improving the emperor's satisfaction in a physical sense, and the other is responsible for improving the emperor's satisfaction in a psychological sense."

"As long as we meet all the requirements to complete the game, we can travel back to the modern era together!"

The two of them looked up at the gilded mural of "Double Blessings of Fortune and Longevity" on the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, and let out a long sigh in unison:

"Wow, this is a really ridiculous start!"

Just then, a series of hurried and frantic footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the door.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the jade pendants colliding wildly.

With a "click," the door was pushed open again.

"Moon! Li'er! My darlings, are you all together?!"

A middle-aged man, dressed in a purple court robe with a crane emblem, with a fair and well-maintained face, but now sweating profusely with anxiety, darted in like a nimble ball.

It was none other than the most notorious corrupt official of the Dayong Dynasty, their own father, the Right Chancellor Gu Debai.

This powerful old fox, who held immense influence in the court, was now peeking around like a thief, peering out into the corridor on both sides.

After confirming that no unauthorized personnel were approaching, he closed the door with extreme caution.

Then, nervously, he inserted the bolt.

After completing this series of airtight defensive maneuvers, Gu Debai finally turned around.

He was stunned when he saw the scene inside the room.

He saw his most beloved daughter sitting blankly on the bed, her hair slightly disheveled.

Meanwhile, her usually rigid and dull son slumped on the stall with lifeless eyes, clutching his stomach.

Two good children who should have enjoyed wealth and luxury now had faces full of despair, as if they had "seen through the world, had no will to live, and were ready to die."

Gu Debai felt a sudden pang of sadness, thinking that the children had heard the alarming news outside. His old eyes reddened, and tears almost fell on the spot.

He rushed over in three quick steps.

She put her arm around Gu Mingli's shoulder and then tenderly patted Gu Mingyue's head.

He lowered his voice, his tone filled with an overwhelming sense of confidence and affection.

"Oh, my darlings! Don't be afraid!! Don't be afraid!!"

"It was my fault. I accidentally let it slip last night, letting you all hear that the Censorate was coming to audit the accounts. You must have been frightened, right?"

Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingli turned to look at him blankly.

Gu Debai patted his chest, his fat face trembling, his eyes gleaming with the cunning of a "professional corrupt official":

"Don't worry! Rest assured! Your father has been navigating the treacherous waters of officialdom for so many years, do you think he's a pushover?!"

"Father already had the 100,000 taels of relief funds allocated for the Jiangzhou flood evacuation overnight!"

"The ledgers were flawless; the money was hidden in a top-secret corner that even a dog couldn't find!"

He proudly raised his chin.

"When those bastards from the Control Yuan come to inspect in a few days, our family will definitely be completely clean and honest!"

"Even if I have to take this money to my grave, I will never let them find out a single thing, and I will never let anyone chop off your two beautiful little heads!"

"........."

Hearing this "heart-touching" declaration of fatherly love.

Gu Mingyue gasped, realizing she had to spend all the money to survive.

Everything went black before my eyes, and I almost passed out.

Dad! You hid the money so well even the dog couldn't find it! How the hell am I supposed to spend it?!

Heaven is going to destroy me!!!
